[Raging Idiot]

I was one of the raging idiots that bought one of the SLP cameras on Ebay that was advertised as 12mp about 5 years ago.
Actually I researched it beforehand and found that it only was capable of 3mp and was interpolated to 12mp. I figured for a 3mp camera for $100 wasn't a bad deal (in 2003), so gave it a chance.
It was advertised to be delivered within 7 weeks but by the 8th week that it arrived I had complained so much about the delay that Ebay/Paypal had already refunded my money. Little did I know the camera sucked so bad to render it completely useless from even being a kids toy.
Hopefully the TouchPro camera isn't just using interpolation to fudge the numbers.
I wonder if the shutter speed is already at it's highest limit. If turning the sound off is actually helping, then possibly turning everything off (all programs, TouchFlo, Radio, bt, etc) might make sense as a test.

EDIT:
Ok, I got curious and finally used the camera for the first time just now.
I put phone in flight mode,
changed the capture to be placed on device rather than storage card,
changed the shutter sound to off,
shoot option to be "touch" rather than "button press",
metering mode to be "average" rather than "center"...

and I'm not seeing as much delay...

Likely culprit was the metering mode.
Seems if you wish the metering mode to be "center" then you may wish to also use the timer option so that it focuses seconds before the shot rather than the "moment" of the shot.
